I must say there are some hilarious comments on here.
Living off a reputation? Chelsea have scored more goals, but only 11 more and thats with us in fifth having had a terrible season. If you ask a neutral we still, on our day, play the best football in the country.
As for playing 4-5-1 not many people do it with a midfield that has Reyes, Hleb, Ljungberg not to mention cesc, so hardly defensive.
Hleb has been one of our best players in the cl as well, yes he gives it away occasionally but his work rate and link up with eboue has been crucial.
The big pitch will help, I think Highbury now, it didnt a few years ago, slightly hinders us. Teams can get close and in our face, with more room thats more difficult plus more room for our pacey players to run into
They key to beating barca? Get at them, their defence isnt all that great - people like gio, and like all foreign teams they arent used to being closed down and pressured, they like time. Get close and we have a chance. Still huge underdogs but over 90 mins who knows, two legs they would beat us, but on the day we'll see.
